Recent Update: Organized Crime LuMP
On the 3rd of February, an update was brought to our attention. The Organized Crime feature now displays the latest organized crimes you have done, and who had a part in it. On top of this, a new message will appear in your inbox when you have been invited. The message explains who invited you, where the organised crime is, whether the Organized Crime was one car or two and what position you have been invited to take up.

The Buzz caught up with Sabin and asked him a few quick questions.
We started by asking how he came up with the idea for the list of recent Organized Crimes. Sabin informed us that “the list of recent Organized Crimes was inspired by players sending in their feature suggestions through the Help Desk. A few of the details were devised by me, but it's mostly something from (and for) the players.”
I continued by asking what his other plans were, what did he plan to update. “There are a lot more things planned for Bootleggers,” Explained Sabin, before adding, “but I can't really give them out until they're done.”

We then chose a random member of the Bootleggers public and asked him a few questions.
Firstly, we asked iWinster what his views were about the new update. He replied with, “I like the update. Now I can see who I did an Organized Crime with, so I can send them if they need one again after 12 hours. It's nice to see the payouts you get in the different States... so you can share it with others and can see what State could make the best profit.”
I continued to ask iWinster how he thought Organized Crimes could be further improved. He suggested making “some sort of counter on the right side of the screen, so you can see how long you have to wait to OC again, without checking the OC page.”

Well, the Organized Crime updates have proven a great success with the Bootleggers public. What do you think they will update next? No doubt you will see in the near future!
